I am glad th...Thanks for this post and your words.<br /><br />I am glad that it was said that first political opponents were imprisoned here. That must have been after the Reichstag fire in 1933 when hundreds of elected parliamentarians were imprisoned.<br /><br />When I just read Martha Gellhorn's book, "The Face of War," as she went to this camp when it was liberated in 1945. She was shocked by what she saw and by what she learned of the dastardly acts that went on there.<br /><br />Yet, she said that she met men who had been there for 9, 10 and 12 years and their minds were as sound as when they entered these gates of hell. So they must have been political prisoners, as those who were held there in the earlier years were political opponents.<br /><br />There is an excellent movie, "Denial," which tells of a Jewish professor, Deborah Lipshutz, who was sued by a Holocaust denier in Britain. She ultimately won the case. But the film takes the viewers to Ausschwitz and it is shocking even though we know what happened.

I said, jokingly 'Well this is one place we aren't going to get a coffee and a bun.' And then I saw the sign for the café. And that took me by surprise.<br /><br />I know Auschwitz still has the displays of glasses and shoes but you are right, they are no longer at Dachau. <br />Dachau has made itself very accessible, they go out their way to engage youth and to teach them what happened there and why. And that is admirable.<br /><br />Would it be less emotionally accessible if it had the shoes, the teeth of those who had perished there? Maybe some people can't get past the shock and the horror of it all. <br /><br />I don't know the answer to that, or even if that what was in the minds of those who have modified it. <br /><br />So, it may be modified but it gets the message across just the same. I hope.<br /><br /><br /> Caro Ramsayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08499318515241879831noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1990338437877873686.post-39961247404242004432017-05-12T10:44:19.353-04:002017-05-12T10:44:19.353-04:00Keeping these memories is our species only hope of...Keeping these memories is our species only hope of the triumph of our better selves.

One was a US born son of a GI stationed in Germany after WWII, the other the daughter of a German farmer. They insisted we see it. Thought they lived in Munich, he'd not been back in many years, his first visit having been with his father in the late 40s, and that's the image burned into his memory.<br /><br />When I saw it, the place looked much as you show it--and it is moving--but my friends say the place has been modified, made more antiseptic. Great mounds of hair, glasses and other effects taken from the prisoners no longer are on exhibit. It is now more a photo exhibit. <br /><br />Yes, we should never forget...including that Dachau was among the very first things Hitler did once assuming power--to incarcerate those he saw as his political enemies.<br /><br />Thank you.Jeffrey Sigerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00718317707555064653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1990338437877873686.post-41833768109376006642017-05-12T04:06:16.655-04:002017-05-12T04:06:16.655-04:00Thanks, Caro.
